ReplyDeleteDo you do exams every three months?
Thanks for posting these questions, it helps a lot!
Thank you for sharing what you write for exams. I learn a lot about exam week through you, which has been most helpful! xxx
ReplyDeleteI write the questions at the end of the term. I noticed I was getting formulaic with them this time round though. I will try to do a better job next term!
ReplyDeleteYou'll find all of AO1 and AO2 to date under the Our Curriculum tab above, and if you click on the Examinations category at the right you'll get some of Jemimah's actual answers as well.
We do exams at the end of each 12 week term.
You were the inspiration behind adding exams to our CM education and I'm glad we did. Does Jemimah continue to enjoy her exams as much as we enjoy reading about them?
ReplyDeleteFunny pangram!
Wonderful exam questions!
ReplyDeleteWe won't have ours until another eight weeks.
This is an awesome test~!! I am very blown away by it actually. I also feel inadequate too ------ but we can work on that. :) I can learn a TON from you about exam week. :) Thanks so much~!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your exam! We haven't followed AO2 exactly this year because I have too many kids too close to the same age to do all the reading of AO0, AO1 and AO2, but this gives me a jumping off point. Love your blog!
